- Saitama Pref. Kasukabeshi Kamikanasaki 720 Showa Drainage Station
- "The Metropolitan Area Outer Underground Discharge Channel is the world's largest man-made underground river, constructed in the eastern part of Saitama Prefecture, around 30 minutes' drive from either the Satte Interchange and the Goka Interchange of the Metropolitan Inter-City Expressway. The underground discharge tunnels extend for 6.3 kilometers at a depth of 50 meters below the surface; the project comprises intake channels, discharge tunnels, and pumping equipment. The large containment silos, which are used to mitigate the impetus of the incoming water and ensure smooth flow, have become famous symbols of the project, being compared to an ""underground temple"" because of their huge size and imposing pillars. The containment silos and tunnels have been used as locations for various TV drama series and movies. The Social Experience Tours are available (please note that advance booking is required)."

Saitama Areas
Eclipsed by neighboring Tokyo, Saitama is often branded as the sleepy suburbs. However, look a little deeper and you’ll uncover quaint towns bursting with history and crafts from the kurazukuri Edo-period clay houses of Kawagoe to the ancient tree-enveloped temples of Chichibu.
